This decision, and prohibit reading, happened because books allow society to think and reason about everything around them. Thus, a reading society is a society that is difficult to control and manipulate.

This conversation also reveals that Montag has hidden books and that it will be difficult for anyone to suspect him, since he is a firefighter.
